How to Install the VeriSafe Absence of Voltage Tester (AVT)
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the VeriSafe AVT to ensure safe verification of circuit de-energization.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter
Supplies needed:
Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, AVT System Cable
- Mount the Isolation Module
Secure the Isolation Module to the DIN rail or surface using screws. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.
- Connect Sensor Leads
Terminate the sensor leads to the corresponding phase conductors and ground connection points, ensuring that leads of the same color are connected to the same conductor.
- Install the Indicator Module
Insert the Indicator Module into a standard 30 mm panel knockout, ensuring the notch is positioned on top. Secure it properly to prevent movement.
- Connect AVT System Cable
Use the included AVT System Cable to connect the Isolation Module to the Indicator Module. Ensure the cable is not extended with a splice.
- Ground the AVT
Ensure the Isolation Module is solidly grounded to the protective conductor terminal of the enclosure to provide proper indication of absence of voltage.
- Verify Connections
Use a multimeter to check that all connections are secure and that there are no unintended connections between sensor leads.
- Conduct Absence of Voltage Test
Follow the commissioning checklist to perform an absence of voltage test, ensuring that the green indicator illuminates to confirm the absence of voltage.
